Si “BYD Purchasing and Supply Management” Akun publik baru-baru ini mengeluarkan pengumuman rekrutmen, mengungkapkan rencananya untuk secara terbuka merekrut pemasok untuk peralatan jalur kue otomatis yang didedikasikan untuk baterai silinder besar di 2023. Periode rekrutmen berlangsung dari Juli 18, 2023, hingga Agustus 1, 2023. The sought-after product equipment is a fully automatic contact high-vacuum baking line, primarily used for baking batteries before the liquid injection process in large cylindrical batteries. This development indicates significant progress in BYD’s large cylindrical battery business.
Selain itu, last year, BYD’s related patent application for a regular hexagonal prism cell surfaced, hinting at potential modifications to a large cylindrical battery with a lithium iron phosphate chemical system.
It’s worth noting that major car manufacturers like Tesla dan BMW have shown strong interest in adopting large cylindrical batteries. Reports indicate that domestic lithium battery manufacturer Yiwei Lithium Energy will supply large cylindrical batteries for BMW’s electric vehicles in Europe, with plans to become the main battery supplier for BMW’s upcoming series of electric vehicles in Europe by 2025.
As the global demand for large cylindrical power batteries is expected to exceed 150GWh by 2025, various domestic power battery manufacturers, including Ningde Times, BAK Battery, Envision Power, and Zhongxinhang, have significantly increased their investment in this technology.
With BYD’s pursuit of large cylindrical batteries, the automotive battery market is witnessing exciting advancements. Will BYD successfully integrate large cylindrical batteries into their products, potentially surpassing their revolutionary blade battery?
